ATTACHMENT m. snrn Y-mzoasf Toall whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, GEORGE BAKUTIS, a citizen of Russia, residing at Chicago, countyof Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to safety razors having more particular reference to the mounting of the blade and arrangement of the shield therefor.

The invention has for an object to provide a novel and simple means for mounting the blade and shield whereby the attachment and detachment thereof will be facilitated.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth;

Figure l of the drawings is a transverse sectional view of safety razor constructed according to the invention, this view being taken on the line 11 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 is a side view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stationary frame work.

Fig. l is a perspective view of the blade and the sliding frame.

Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the shield.

Referring now to the drawings 10 indicates the handle of my improved safety razor which may be of the usual cylindrical shape with the periphery "thereof knurled as shown. This handle has a fixed transverse bar 11 at its upper end to which the holder upon which the blade is mounted is secured, the blade when in position extending at right angles to the handle as is common in safety razors.

The holder of my improved safety razor is made of a rectangular metal plate 12 of a size corresponding to the size of the blade, and having a central channel-like depressed portion 13 extending from end to end thereof, the bar 11 being attached to this central portion by the screws 14. The side edges of the plate 12 are formed with serrations 15 in the usual manner to form a guard for the edges of the blade.

Suitably fixed in the bottom of the channel portion 18 of the holder are a series of double ended cleats 16 spaced longitudinally Specification of Letters Pa e. P tented Oct. 1 2, 1920. Application filed February 4, 1920'. Serial No. 356,179;

thereof, these cleats forming a means whereby the blade is detachably mounted on the holder. The blade is shown at 17 and is secured by screws such as 18 on a back piece 19 consisting of a sheet metal member bent to fit snugly inthe depression formed in the holder, this back piece comprising the central portion 19, side legs 19 and in'turned flanges 19*, the blade being secured upon this central portion. l/Vhen the parts are in operative position the flanges engage under the cleats 16 and hold the blade against outward movement from the holder while the legs 19 engage the side walls of the depression 13 to prevent transverse displacement. In this position the surface of the back piece is alined with the surfaceof the holder. the edges of the blade lying against, and co operating in the usual manner with, the serrated edges 15 of the holder. Secured at one end to the back piece 19 and projecting longitudinally therefrom is a handle 21.

The shield of my improved safety razor comprises a transversely arched member 22 of a length equal to the holder and adapted to fit over the blade with the cutting edges of the latter projecting laterally beyond the shield as shown in Fig. 1. The shield is provided with integral laterally extending legs 23 at the corners thereof which rest upon the edge of the blade and support the shield. This shield is provided on each end with a pair of integral spring fingers 24 bent down over the ends of the holder and having curved ends 25 adapted to spring under the central depressed portion 13.

As will be apparent the blade may be readily removed from the holder by simply drawing the back piece out of the depressed portion 13 of the latter while the back piece permits of ready manipulation of the blade for sharpening or other purposes.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, of the United States is as follows 1. A safety razor comprising a blade, a back on which said blade is mounted and a holder adapted to slidably receive said backing and support and guard the edges of the blade, said holder having a central channellike depression extending longitudinally thereof in which said back fits, a series of cleats in said depression, and flanges on said backing adapted to engage under said cleats.

2. A safety razor comprising a blade, a back on Which said blade is mounted and a holder adapted to slidably receive-said back ing and support and guard the edges ofthe blade, said holder having a centralchannellike depression extending longitudinally thereof in which said back fits, a series of cleats in said depression and flanges on said backing adapted to engage under said cleats, a shield extending over said blade, and resilient means attaching said shield to said holder.

3. A safety razor comprising a blade a,

back on which said blade is mounted and a 15 holder adapted to slidably receive said backing and support and guard the edge of the blade, said holder having a central channellik'e depression extending longitudinally thereof, in which said back fits, a series of cleats in said depression, and flanges on said backing adapted to engage under said cleats,

a shield extending over said blade, and re silient means attaching said shield to said holder, said means comprising integral spring fingers projecting over the ends of said holder and engaging yieldingly under the; central depressed part thereof.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
